Holidaying Devon teens bring covid home

VIDEO: They'd been on Greek party island

Around 30 Devon 18 and 19 year-olds may have brought back coronavirus from a holiday in Greece.

They'd enjoyed a break in Zante, a Greek island marketing for its crazy nightlife. 

Now 11 of the group have tested positive for covid-19, although most have no or only minor symptoms. That's meant they've continued life as normal since returning last weekend, including a night out in Plymouth.

The city's director of public health Dr Ruth Harrell says although the number of cases is high, it is not enough to trigger a lockdown. She reminds people of the key messages about staying away from crowded places.

Separately, six more cases have been confirmed at a factory in Plymouth.
